THOMAS FINDLEY (FORD CEMETERY)

Post by alcavtay »

I see that Daggers started a thread looking for a headstone for this chap in Ford Cemetery a few years back.

On 1st March the CWGC posted a request for any relatives of Thomas Findley to contact them as some work is going to be done on the grave (I assume the erection of a CWGC headstone as the earlier thread seemed to conclude that there wasn't one)

His is one of three names they have released:

C.Cassidy Private 15/2/1919 Royal Defence Corps Camus Cemetery
Stephen Cyril Dimes Sapper 12/4/1918 Royal Engineers Shobrooke (St Swithin) Churchyard
Thomas Findley Private 29/11/1915 The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
Liverpool Ford Cemetery

Details on who to contact are on the CWGC site here:
http://www.cwgc.org/news-events/news/ap ... s-(1).aspx


Thought I'd post it here as the CWGC don't really publicise these things very much!

I see that CWGC say that Pte Findley's name is to be added to a screen wall; presumably the actual grave site could not be traced.
